The Importance of Gratitude
Maddie McGarrah, MEd
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor |
Practicing gratitude in our daily lives can have multiple benefits on our mental and even our physical health. One definition of gratitude that I like is, “the appreciation of what is valuable and meaningful to oneself and represents a general state of thankfulness and/or appreciation” (Sansone & Sansone, 2010). This definition of gratitude allows us to be thankful for the different things in our life whether they are tangible or intangible. |

Brittany Byrd, MA
Licensed Associate Professional Counselor |
Brittany is passionate about helping children and their families restore and rebuild the peace they have lost in their lives. She believes humans were created to be intimately connected with others in loving, secure relationships. When that connection and safety is absent or broken from life difficulties, it can result in emotional pain and behavioral issues that are difficult to navigate alone. |

Alcohol Misuse Doesn’t Discriminate |
Anyone can fall into unhealthy drinking habits. It’s time to seek help when you’re having difficulty controlling your drinking, drinking large quantities at a time, or starting to feel withdrawal symptoms when you don’t drink. Problem drinking often interferes with your performance at work, impacts your personal relationships, or puts others’ or your own safety at risk. Fortunately, help is available. |
